背面描述	Domitian standing right, clasping hands in a dextrarum iunctio with a military officer standing left, the gesture performed over a low altar symbolizing the renewal of the military oath. Three soldiers are arrayed behind the group: one bearing a legionary aquila (eagle standard), one holding a vexillum or signum, and one distinguished by an animal-skin headdress, likely an aquilifer. The composition is a bold historical type celebrating Domitian's military authority and his bond with the legions. The senatorial mark of value S C appears in the field, authorizing the bronze issue.

附加信息	Domitian's sestertii from 86 AD fall within the period when he held the title of Censor Perpetuus, assumed in 85, giving him unprecedented peacetime control over public morality and senatorial membership — a claim no emperor before him had made permanent. The Senate's nominal authorization encoded in the S C carried particular irony under a ruler who treated that body with open contempt and was eventually subject to damnatio memoriae after his assassination in 96 AD. RIC II.1 #473 belongs to the revised Carradice-based reclassification, which substantially reorganized earlier RIC II attributions for the Flavians.
